That's quite a good list you got in there, many of those would be featured on my list too, but I would also add The Double Life of Veronique, Sunrise, Hiroshima Mon Amour, L'Eclisse, Baraka/Samsara, Stalker, and others.

Weird that for so many people the "10 Most Beautiful Films ever Made" list comprises exclusively Hollywood flicks. My guess is that they haven't seen anything outside that spectre and country...
